right now on fox 29 weekend. a city in mourning after a officer was gunned down while trying to buy a game for his son. >> we've got some violent, vicious people out here. that doesn't surprise me. when you look at the actions of the officer, i think he we defined what a hero was all about. >> the question on many minds, when will the senseless violence end. this morning we want you to join the conversation. plus, you may have done it as a child, but would you let your kids walk home from the park alone? one mom did and now she's charged with neglect. she says it's all about teaching your kids independence. what do you think? >> and it may be winter, but the

eagles are doing a little spring cleaning and fans are a bit confused. do we really know what's behind chip kelly's move? only in philly. >> and good morning to you on this saturday. it is march 7th. we hope that it feels like march. i'm kaern hep along with bill anderson. >> we've got school budget battles going on, taxes could be going up or down depending who you talk to. who are the real winners or losers in this bat the. >> today marks 50 years on the march on selma. >> first let's get started taking a look at weather. we're going to have a chilly day. we're going to get caitlin finding out what's going o but

first we have a question. >> when is the snow going to stop? >> that is the question of the day. the week, the month, probably the whole season. when is the snow going to stop. we had our biggest snowfall of the season earlier this week. 7.5 inches in philadelphia. it looks like at least for the for seeable future we don't have any snow. however i would not rule it out being totally over, the way this winter has been considering how cold. it's clear outside right now, we are looking at clear skies through the rest of today, temperatures certainly cold enough for snow. this must be the new normal for march, i guess. we are only in the teens. 18 in philadelphia, 15 in wimg ton, 19 in atlantic city. it's only 16 in dover. winds are calm but it's enough to see negative wind chills this morning. if you're in the lehigh valley,

it feels like 2 below zero. 8 degrees in philadelphia, 10 degrees in dover. let's look at your future cast through the rest of today. sunshine this morning giving way to clouds, maybe even snow showers far north and west, otherwise it will be quiet into the whoever night. we're finally looking at a completely quiet weekend. your fox cast for today, 38 degrees, well below the normal of 50 degrees for this time of year. it is still cold, but not as bad tonight. we'll fall to about 31 degrees. we'll have your full seven-day forecast which features a warming trend still ahead. >> new this morning. a pretty bad fire ripped through an apartment building overnight. >> sabina is there. do we know if anyone was hurt? >> reporter: right now we do know that nobody was hurt. but you can see just the extent of the damage to this apartment building as the fire just ripped through it.

it's very, very damaged. the roof partially collapsed and let's stand down here to the parking lot you can see it's a sheet of ice because of the water that the firefighters had to use to put out this fire. let's look at the video that we had for you when the scene was active early this morning. we're told the fire broke out just after 2:00 this morning. there's about 12 units in this building, we're told nobody was hurt during this fire and back out here live, the building already partially boarded up, partial roof collapse after this fire caused that roof to collapse inward and again very, very icy out here. we did reach out to the american red cross to see if they are assisting. we'll have more coming up at 9:00. >> also it has been a violent evening in the city of philadelphia. we begin with the deadly shooting in the northwest

section of philadelphia. it happened just about 2:15. we know this was deadly. a man was killed. three people were seen running away. so far we don't have any suspects or arrests. also, there have been a number of other shootings. we have one from south fel ton. this was in kingsessing. police fired on those suspects there. this was over at second and market streets. so a number of shootings in our city. >> and tragedy involved our cover store this morning. the city of philadelphia continues to remember the life of fallen officer robert wilson. the suspects both in custody, both with criminal records. >> the officer was a hero and a warrior. he fought to the very, very end firing at both of them. >> officer wilson was at the game stop to buy his son a present.

on our fox 29 facebook page so many notes of condolences. thank you for giving your life for the protection of all of us. you are a hero. rest easy. and brian said so sad, a young life lost because of violence. we're praying for the family. patricia said may he rest in peace. an american hero. my heart goes out to all of his family and friends. we're going to talk a little more about this. joining us live this morning is the vice president of the fraternal order of police. good morning, sir. >> good morning, bill. >> i know you had a chance to speak with the family. how are they holding up? >> it's such a tragic loss and such a sudden loss, they're dealing with it the best they can. our entire city, our entire police department, particularly the family, is having a real tough time dealing with this. once again, violence perpetrated against our police officers. >> you mentioned the officers in tt department as a whole.

on some levels there is an assumed risk when police officers walk into dangerous situations. but he was just buying a video game, allegedly. how are the officers responding to something like this happening? >> our officers are devastated. this is the district, the 22 district which has lost as many officer in two years. the last police officer we lost moses walker worked in that particular district, worked among these individuals. they perfect shell shocked, to say the least. they're doing well, they're getting through it. our police officers move forward and support the family in a situation like this. the increasing danger of putting on a uniform as a police officer in the city of philadelphia, nobody knows what's going to happen on any given day. p and the tragic violent death of officer wilson is proof positive of that. >> i know it's early in the process and the focus is on the

family right now and grieving. but based on reports, at least one of the alleged shooters had a criminal record for armed robbery. and if not for an early release could have still be serving time. is it too early to be looking at that or consideration of how we handle these types of things in the future? >> it's obviously something we need to look at down the road. we tend to focus on the family at this time. we're working hard to make sure the family is okay. but it's not lost on us that these violent thugs, that shouldn't be out on the street, are once again out on the street. and somebody made a decision somewhere to release a person back on the streets of philadelphia that shouldn't be there. and once again, one of our citizens, and once again, one of our police officers, have lost their lives because of somebody who should not have been on the streets of philadelphia. who should have been incarcerated somewhere. that's a question and answers we're going to have in the coming days. but right now our entire city

and our entire police department is focused on supporting this family and honoring the life of officer wilson and supporting his partner, officer stevenson who was out there and had a really tough and tragic day. our focus right now on that, the questions of why these violent thugs continue to perpetrate violence on the streets of philadelphia is a question that needs to be answered and that will happen in the coming months and weeks. >> obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to the wilson family but all the officers who are serving. we want to remind everybody a memorial has been set up, the police and fire credit union will accept donations in any of their branches. we have more information in the "seen on tv" section of

myfoxphilly.com. >> a 19-year-old tony robinson was shot and killed by an officer. it is not known whether he was armed. and so many people are discussing this one right now. woke up to a fatal shooting in madison, so tragic. too many ignoring reality or maybe they just don't know the numbers. and now a madison shooting. why. >> and today is the 50th anniversary of the march in selma, alabama. 600 marchers were headed to montgomery to demand an end to discrimination. they faced beatings and attacks from tear gas and images of the violence of the march known as bloody sunday stunned the american public. after wide criticism, no republican leaders were attending the celebration. now we hear that house majority

leader kevin mccarthy will in fact be there. >> now we're going to closer look at a plan that will maybe save our schools. >> plus free range parenting. do you even know what that is? do you practice is? this family does and now a mom and dad are charged with neglect. get ready to weigh in on this one. ♪ ♪

>> i have always conducted myself appropriately and in accordance with the law. >> the federal investigations stem from flights he took on the private jet. eric holder did not confirm whr not he has signed off on any criminal charges. in other news, former vice president walter mondale is in the hospital. he reportedly has the flu. he is expected to be okay. bill? >> and now history that affects so many. education, as budget season in pennsylvania with both governor wolf and mayor nutter proposing budgets that would increase spending on education. the budget would wipe out the philadelphia school deficit and increase funding, but some say it's prouch harsh on charter

schools. immediately upon hearing the proposals, the response was mixed. check out this tweet was education activist. she said, deer electeds, school fund suggest not asking for additional help, it's a constitutional responsibility. we want to talk more about this, joining us this morning, donna cooper, and lawrence jones from the coalition of charter schools. let's start with you, the whole concept of additional money, we often hear that money will solve these problems. what's your immediate response? is this a positive thing? >> of course. it's long overdue that the case investing in education. we suffered cuts in 2011. the state stepped back from its constitutional obligation so this is a welcome sign for schools not just for philadelphia but across the region. >> we often talk about money and in the past we've had more

spending. it was cut and now some of it is coming back. is money necessarily the solution or do we need to look at how we're spending that money. >> i think you said the important word which is "also." it's impossible to make progress without resources but resources alone don't mean you make progress. in the period in which the state was increase it's funding for schools from 2003 to 2011, you saw dramatic increases in the number of kids who were able to read and do math and you saw rising graduation rates and rising performance rates. that's because when the money came, it had strings attached to it. you've got to use this money for proven things, reducing class sizes, improving teacher capacity to teach, expanded access to high schools. the money was very clear about how it needed to be used and the results were there. so you make the really important point. that it's an "also." but money starts the conversation. >> they talk about an also, but

in that budget, seemingly governor wolf not terribly supportive of charters, restrictions on cyber. not a lot of focus on these alternative methods of education. your response to that? >> i think that the first thing we would have to do is we really want to take a look at making sure that every child is adequately funded. i think the fact that we have more money coming in is a good thing, but we can't have those funds coming in to support one group of students at the expense of others. cyber charter schools, charter schools, those children are public education students as well. so we need to see these increases. we need to see the proven methods that are going to increase achievement, but we can't do it to take from one group of students to bolster another. >> i think another interesting point, many of these schools have a significant waiting list.

they're opting to try to go to these schools. >> you see parents all over the commonwealth have choice. whether it's the choice to be able to move to a certain area or a choice in a civic school. and if the budget is enacted as it is right now, a significant number of students are going to lose that choice. we need to be focused that making every public school child is adequately funded. >> can right now it's a proposal. we're going to talk about this going forward and we'll have you back. thank you. >> thank you. >> great discussion. also here on fox 29 weekend, we really like to listen to you. when you have a question for you, about the weather, maybe you have a comment, something you don't like.

we take it all, the good and the bad. still ahead, our jeff cole. coverage of thursday's tragic shooting of that philadelphia police officer robert wilson. this is a special edition of fox unfiltered. also, have you seen the guy with this sign? we're going to share his story as we you take you in focus. >> it's another cold march morning. it certainly doesn't feel like spring. spring is still a couple of weeks away, but we do get that extra hour of daylight, or at least it's lighter longer in the day, starting today. tomorrow we'll start the day later but we'll end it later too. we'll have a warmer forecast for you. still ahead too. >> thank you caitlin. starting our morning off, how about the grateful dead "friend

of the devil."

thanks for the ride around norfolk! and i just wanted to say, geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer... it's gonna be dark by the time i get there. geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years.

>> we always like getting yaur comments. let us know what you think about the topics that we have here much make sure when you tweet, facebook, or send us your mess aengs, use the hashtag #fox29weekend. >> just disgusting. a man is arrested for videotaping women episued local dressing. he would crawl on his hands and knees and post the videos on posh websites. cops also say he would record women who looked underanned. when you hoo at this video you see what kind of dejep rate he is of he's taking the meaning of

peeping tom to a whole different level much they become more and more braz yes app vii lept hopefully in the future he won't be able to commit any more time of predatory crimes. that's my take. >> here's a question that so many of you, i just was noticing, tweeted about this one of the you would walk home, ride a bike. i would go a mile to meet my best girlfriend is that okay? >> my mom used to have a whistle and that's how i knew it was

time to be home. one mom thought it was okay and now she's charged with neglect. she says she's just trying to teach her kids independence. what do you think? make sure you use the hashtag #fox29weekend to weigh in. >> also i wonder if -- >> a music request, lisa lisa cult jam. >> if i take you home tonight back in the day. let us know what you want to hear. use our hashtag #fox29weekend how can i avoid maintenance fees? why would you want to avoid them? because i don't want to... you know what? i'm gonna bring my maintenance guy in here to tell you all about it. roddy! so, uh, without your fee, your checking chamber can't run smoothly. every time you put money in, it causes, uh...deposit friction.

[ male announcer ] avoid monthly maintenance fees at td bank with a minimum checking balance of just $100. td bank. america's most convenient bank. of just $100. sometimes, caring for your neighbors means going the extra mile. when our patient, susan, mentioned her dad couldn't make it in to pearle vision to get his eyes checked... we went to him. and we realized, if he had trouble getting new glasses...

he probably wasn't the only one. to us, eye care is about living dr. pearles legacy. building a trusting relationship with the person behind the eyes. this is genuine eye care, right in your neighborhood. this is pearle vision.

. >> others may be going for scavenger hunt as we're taking a live look outside as our pocono mountains. we also got this weather question. >> why is it freezing? >> it just is. i know. why is it cold so long though? our winter has been made up of these arctic blasts of very unusually cold air that keeps moving in. i'm not surprised we're here in march talking about temperatures far below normal and in fact breaking records. this is from yesterday morning, early yesterday we saw some record lows across the area coming on the heels of the freshest snowfalls we had. atlantic city, wilmington,

trenton you all set new record lows. snow record lows so far this morning, but it is very cold. it's 18 in philadelphia. low teeps elsewhere except for lancaster sitting at 0 degrees. a bit of a wind so we are seeing hauch wind harsh wind chills. we'll see a decent warm-up today. temperatures are still well below normal. we should be around 50. but 38 will be the high temperature with sun today giving way with clouds. we keep rising through tuesday although there is a chance for showers on tuesday and we finally get above normal on wednesday. 55, that will feel very unusual, but also great. 48 there on thursday. there was no january thaw, no february thaw. a chance of showers again by friday. we'll keep you updated with the rest of the weekend as we go

through the show. >> time now for unfiltered, where each week we respond to your comments and concerns on the air. jeff cole, each week you take the tweets and facebook comments and respond to them. >> we think it's a great way to communicate with our viewers. this week of course we've had a horrible tragedy with the death of a police officer. we're going to take that issue on a little bit. >> you were there, handling it, leading the live kompleg. walk us through that process. what actually happens when we get that type of information? >> we hear about it, we have an assignment desk. they heard the horrible radio calls when this officer was shot. they come running in and say cole, there is a shooting. the anchors go on set, we run over to camera 10 and we start to report this thing live.

>> not a lot of preparation and you've got to make these decisions. >> there was absolutely no preparation and you're fed information from our assignment desk, but you take your personal experience and you try to put that all in context while delivering as much information as accurately as you can. but also making sure that there's some recognition to the kind of damage and pain that you can cause if you don't get it quite right. >> and that actually leads into this segment. we talk about the e-mails and what have you. and we have a couple of them. steven wrote in at 5:52 p.m., one channel, we won't say which one, is reporting that the cop pass passed away, rest in peace. get on it. i love fox news, but the other guy, the other station has more information. they've announced the officer has died. i feel fox is behind by 20

minutes on their news. what's your response to that? >> i would point out to our viewers that the officer died at 6:25 p.m. not prior to that. his official death was announced at 6:25 p.m. i'll be candid with you. we were hearing reports from good sources that in fact he had passed. we had his name. but until you have that information, it seems to me, fully confirmed, i don't see any reason to rush that material on air to tell our viewers. i'm not sure i think what the advantage is to viewers to do that. >> we heard officer wilson's name much earlier, decided not to go with it. why? is it about sensitivity to the family? >> sure. until his family is fully notified, do you think that that's a television station's role. i'm not going to comment on what any other news organization does. it seems to me here in what was a split second decision we decided we didn't want their family to hear his name and his

passing from us. we seemed that needed to be something that needed to be fully confirmed before we threw that on tv. we got some e-mails. let me give you an example of a viewer who understand some of the issues going on here. facebook, john got it right when he wrote to us, unfortunately some news outlets are trying to be the first to report. that's disrespectful to the family. i would not want to find out news of a loved one that was murdered. and samantha was really frustrated. channel x and channel z reporting he's still in critical condition. z says dead. someone needs to set the record straight. we think those are interesting comments. right. so you've got some organizations saying he's dead, some saying he's not. what we decided to do is to do as accurate reporting as we possibly could to say that we understood he was gravely injured. and until we had full and

straight confirmation that he had passed, this man who is serving people here, we're simply not going to report it. >> one organization went with the name long before his death tweeting police sources tell the other station that the officer that was shot was robert wilson. why would they do that? why would they go with the name that early? >> i don't know why other news organizations make the decisions they do. we are very competitive. this is a competitive business. we compete we want to get it first and we certainly want to get it right. i think the question we would ask here to all journalists is do we really have to rush to put the name of a police officer who's been murdered on tv before it's fully confirmed. and would you want his wife and loved ones to hear that name from us before it's been fully confirmed and from police sources? this is really an issue for debate. i could certainly hear the other side and that's the position we took. >> one more comes from holly.

holly says thank you mayor and commissioner for being honest with the public. i can truly see the grief in your face. thank you for giving the police the respect they deserve. they leave their home and family every day not knowing if they'll return. what's your response to that? >> the obvious grief on the part of public officials, but if you think that news people don't feel grief, i'm standing and hearing he was gravely injured and likely to lose his life, it is horrific. it's part of what we do. not asking anybody to feel badly for us. but i do think there's nothing wrong with public officials and journalists for affecting the sadness and horror. >> i saw you handling that situation, i appreciate you for letting me watch you work and learn. i think we got it right. thank you. >> very powerful discussion there. all right. let's talk about our sports teams. eagle fans, a lot of them are

shaking their heads this morning. chip kelly making a lot of changes. fan favorite no longer bleeding green. so what does this mean for the team? we'll discuss it only in philly. >> and as you get up, get started and have your morning coffee, enjoy this music from the background. you hear "ghosts" by ella henderson. use the hashtag #fox29weekend.

>> it's time to go in focus where our photo journalist bill finds stories, shoots stories and tells stories. today he's got a unique story about a man who's just trying to find a creative way to let people know he really needs a job. >> reporter: like most people in the morning, rob gets dressed and he's out the door. he comes here, 30th street station and holds a sign. >> at 36 i never thought i would be in this position. >> he calls himself the guy with the sign. at the top of the ramp, in fropt of thousands of commuters he looks for a job hoping the next person he meets will lead him to new opportunity. rob is here whenever he isn't student teaching for about four

hours a day for the last five weeks. >> it's encouraging that random strangers stop to talk. to give advice. >> reporter: advice he gets, to tweak his resume. >> some folks have encouraged more detail. in some of the positions i've held. >> reporter: rob's inspiration is his wife and kids. >> she sent me a text this morning i'm really proud of you which means a lot to me. >> reporter: he doesn't know how much longer he will stand here. >> i feel bad that we're in this situation and i'm trying to do anything that i can to create an opportunity for us. >> reporter: what he does know is he woept give up. >> morning. morning. >> that's a really interesting story, and i've got to tell you being a little cynical is the first thing i see him standing there spending time couldn't he be spending that time looking for a job. >> he's len looking for a job

since 2011. this is his looking for a job. >> he's really qualified he's got master's degrees and what have you. has this led to any leads? >> next week he has two potential employers, he's meeting with a recruiting hopefully it's going to get him somewhere. >> how can we help? is there information? somebody watching right now has to have a job for this guy. >> he does have a website, guywithasign.com and you can contact there or through our website. >> we're like kindred spirits. we look forward to doing it next week. >> thanks. >> plus this one already getting a lot of discussion. free range parenting. do you practice it? do you let your kids get home by themselves? that family does it and now a mom and dad are charged with neglect. get ready to weigh in on this one. we got this comment. ridiculous allowing little ones to walk alone.

lazy mom. also neglectful for letting 10-year-old's walk home and she says raising independent adults should be our concern. and worried that they don't get snatched. and also also this one is she followed behind. it's too crazy out here to let kids walk one mile. continue to let us know what you think about this. >> it's interesting how people are split on that. it's the hot show you see it here on fox 29. here's some music from empire. send us your requests, your comments, make sure you use the hashtag #fox29weekend. ♪ ♪

daylight tomorrow afternoon. one of our twitter followers said i'm going hiking through the woods. we've still got people going skiing, another one of our twitter followers. #fox29weekend, let us know what you need a forecast for, whether it's skiing, hiking, or taking the kids to their sports games. spring sports beginning this time of year. we've got quiet skies all across the country. there is a warmer air that's trying to move through and that is going to spread some clouds later on today. it could spark a shower or snow shower mainly towards our north and west. otherwise we see quiet conditions through this evening. 18 degrees in philadelphia right now. we're mainly in the teens. that seven-day forecast for you shows 38 today. that's still cold. a normal high temperature for early march, 50 degrees in philadelphia. we'll timely get there later this week. climbing into the 40s sunday and monday, chance of rain tuesday.

55 there on wednesday. >> this next story is getting a lot of buzz on social media. you may recall that back in december this family let their ten-year-old son and six-year-old daughter walk home from a park in silver spring, maryland. they believe in what's called free range parenting. they believed their children were ready to handle the responsibility of walking home. maryland child protective services disagreed and they've been hit with a charge of child neglect. after the children were picked up by police while walking home. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you get labeled as neglectful parents. what's your immediate response to this when you hear it? >> we were shocked and outraged because we're not in any way.

>> we raised them to be independent and responsible just like we were raised as kids. they started out by going around the neighborhood, down the block, to a local playground. to a library. and then this one-mile walk was really the latest in that progression. >> i know you've seen some of them. we've been getting social media comments. we want to read some of them to you and get your response. thousands of people were sounding off on this. lynn says what's wrong with us? my goodness, we used to roam all over and my mother was the clingy type. we're truly raising children who will not be able to make it in this world without someone holding their hand. but margaret disagreed. keeping your children safe has nothing to do with teaching them independence. trust me they'll learn independence at the right time and not by galavanting all over

the place alone. you guys need to wise up. what's your response? >> well, the world is actually safer than when i was a child, so we think it's absolutely appropriate to let our kids wander. we don't believe we put them in any danger by doing what they do. >> as their attorney, they have this what they're calling unsubjec unsubjects -- unsubstantiated neglect on their record. >> we disagree with that and we we don't believe there's any reason for them to change the way they're parpting their children. they're teaching their children independence and the scary part about this incident is that the agency here has never shown that the children have been in any risk at all, and yet they've threatened to take the children away from the parents.

is this the type of society that we want to be in, where children can be threatened to be taken away from their parents simply from walking home from the park? >> your attorney says you don't have to change the way you're parenting, but what's next for you? you're going forward obviously with challenging this. what's the next step? >> we haven't changed it. we've had three snow days this week and my kids have been out by themselves in the playground and in our yard. again, we haven't been doing anything wrong so we're going to continue to parent the way we believe is best for our children. >> thank you so much for spending time with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> let us know what you think. we're continuing to get your comments and your questions. you can always leave them at our fox 29 facebook page or tweet us. just make sure you use the #fox29weekend. >> the tragic death of a philadelphia officer, how do we

sometimes, caring for your neighbors means going the extra mile. when our patient, susan, mentioned her dad couldn't make it in to pearle vision to get his eyes checked... we went to him. and we realized, if he had trouble getting new glasses... he probably wasn't the only one. to us, eye care is about living dr. pearles legacy. building a trusting relationship with the person behind the eyes. this is genuine eye care, right in your neighborhood. this is pearle vision. because it works for our patients. here, at cancer treatment centers of america in philadelphia, we give our patients the freedom to make appointments that fit their schedules, even on weekends. because we believe in being here when our patients need us, so they can keep living

range predators out there nowadays. people are way to nosey and way too overprotective. kids need to learn to trust from parents to be independent. and this one also, i totally support that mother. in my day you learned independence from your parents. so keep your comments come, we certainly appreciate your opinions on all of this. and also mike jerrick welcome back from vacation. we cannot wait to see you on monday as well. >> good morning. i'm dr. mike. do you suffer from migraine headaches? millions of americans do. well, there's a new treatment that's noninvasive that may actually dramatically improve yaur symptoms. what do they do? they put a catheter up in your nose and they numb up the part of the brain called the sfeen yoe pal teen ganglia. according to the world health

organization over 1 billion young people, teenagers and adults are going to lose their hearing due to the use of headphones and personal entertainment devices. you've got to be careful out there, folks. can you hear me? new research indicates that if your child is over the age of 2 and still napping,ing this may have some negative effects on their sleep at night. now, i have a three-year-old at home and if she doesn't take a nap, she turns into a little monster. the bottom line is, we might need to cut back on the amount of naps in kids over the age of t. i'm dr. mike.

when we will see some

improvement? here we are march 7, it is so-called. we still feel like we're in the throes of winter. the good news is we have warmer temperatures. we spring ahead. it does mean you lose an hour of sleep, but it does mean that the sun sets later starting tomorrow. not until 7:00. of course it will be darker earlier in the morning but that will change as we see more daylight, less darkness. you need to be bundled up this morning. 22 in philadelphia. teens wide spread across the area. we do have that beautiful sunshine, just feels nice to have that on your face when you step outside. wind chills in the single digits, we are jumping up into the 30s by noon and we should hit 38 here in philadelphia, maybe even hitting 40 briefly. not as cold as we head towards sunday. 46 degrees with some sunshine.

more clouds come in on monday, 48. we do have a chance for rain on tuesday. wednesday, undoubtedly the best day of the week. 55 degrees. it has been a long time since we felt 55. then we should stay in the 40s. our only precipitation chances will be of rain, not snow. not sure if we're totally done for the season, but at least we look quiet for the rest of the seven-day forecast. >> we've had a lot of violence, way too much violence and too many shootings in our city. we're going to talk about four. this was a deadly shooting that happened in the northwest section on west indiana avenue. it was about 2:15 this morning. one man lost his life and three people were seen running away. no arrests there. now we're going to talk about thrae more violent incidents. one on south in kingsessing,

another one in hunting park and second in market in old city. all of this violence creating so many problems and too many losses of lives. >> i knew him and had met him. he was one of the best police officers this city has to offer, period. this nine-year-old boy is now going to grow up without a father. a one-year-old is going to grow up without a dad. >> again, one more example. of the danger police officers and law enforcement personnel face on a regular basis. >> the entire department is in shock. and is in mourning. >> it's a sad day for the philadelphia police department. it's a sad day for the city of philadelphia.

>> and the city of philadelphia is remembering a hero. but the question is, how do he woo grieve? how do we mourn the loss of life? lots of people turn to our fox 29 facebook page. lynn wrote what's wrong with this country? good guys are being taken from us. my condolences to the officer's family. god bless you, our hearts and prayers go out to your family. and thank you for your service, rest in peace and no, you will never be forgotten. are there ways to come together and how do we stop this cycle of disrespect for life. joining us solomon jones. good morning. thanks for coming in. >> good morning. >> let's start with you, because listening to your show yesterday, there was a lot of discussion about healing. but some of that sounded like it

also included concerns for the alleged shooters and their families and including them in the healing process. tell me about that as a kind of universal healing. >> absolutely. the first thing i think we need to know that this is a rarity. that this officer being killed in the line of duty. he was the first officer in philadelphia to be killed in the line of duty since 2009. when you look nationally, this is not something that generally happens in the northeast. in 2013, according to the fbi, there were 27 officers killed across the country, most of them in the south. ohm two of the officers across the country who were killed were black. this is something that affects the black community i think in a very visceral way. we see shootings far too often in the black community and in communities of color in philadelphia. so you see two families on each side of this, grieving. grieving the loss of these young men who decided to do this and certainly they should be

punished to the fullest extent of the law, but they have a family, they have a community that is grieving that loss, as well as this police officer, who also happened to be black, who was taken from our community. so you have families grieving on both sides. you have the entire community grieving on both sides. not only the loss of life, but the loss of potential and the loss of their future. >> solomon said "community" several dempt times. and when you hear something like this happens, there's anger, there's emotion, there's passion. but what's the community's role and response to make sure this type of thing doesn't happen again and we heal? >> solomon is absolutely right. one of the things before we can answer that question, we have to back up and really articulate that grieving is part of a natural occurrence. it's deeply rooted, it's very significant to recognize that all individuals grieve. as significant as this particular killing was, the grief becomes really intense. i think what's in the community perspective, there's a lot of strength in community.

so community is also traumatized and community is grieving as well. simply because people from various communities have police officers, friends, family members who are colleagues. i think one of the things we have to do is allow the grieving process to happen. we have to also recognize that the five stages of grief that starts with denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance goes through the process. it's a cycle. communities have to also recognize that there are times where there are police officers who are leaving their communities and they're not come home because of barbaric and demonic behaviors such as what we've seen. >> solomon is right. one more point. all communities grieve but we also have to look at the fact that the individuals who engaged in this barbaric behavior are also going to lose family members just like this cop lost his family. >> what i want to hear from both of you, quickly if we can, you know that the immediate criticism is that communities are outraged if it's a police

officer that shoots someone in the community. will that same outrage and emotion and protests and things like that happen now to call for an end of this when it's a police officer shot. >> i think that you have to have that same level of outrage in our community when it's within our community. whether it's a police officer, whether it's somebody's son, somebody's father, somebody's uncle. i do think we have to be a little bit careful about the language that we use around people, calling them barbarians and that sort of thing. something i will never forget is a controversial i had with mayor nutter in 2013 when i asked him is there a correlation between poverty and violence in our city. he said if you overlay two maps, one with the highest poverty areas and one with the two highest crime areas, those areas are going to match. same thing with education. according to district attorney seth williams, most of the people who are involved in this

violence are high school dropouts, as we disinvest in education, as we disvest in our neighborhoods, unfortunately we're going to see violence. >> a lack of moral imperative. as a social scientist we can look at economic injustice, we can look at institutional racism. but this was barbaric behavior. >> i think it's also barbaric behavior when you look at what happened in ferguson. >> absolutely. i've been on fox and i've done national shows where we've talked about ferguson. but today, we're looking at the fact that this police officer's life was taken. we help communities grieve but we should help our police officers and the city of philadelphia thanking them putting their lives on the line every day and the community should be outraged. >> we're going to have to leave it there. i know there's a lot more to this and we will have you both back to continue this discussion because obviously it will continue to evolve and we want

to make sure people know there is a memorial fund that has been set up in officer wilson's name. the police and fire federal credit union will accept donations at any of their branches. we have more information in the "seen on tv" section of myfoxphilly.com. your comments have been coming in all day. just make sure when you tweet us, you use the hashtag #fox29weekend. there will be a memorial tomorrow at st. martin church in philadelphia at 10:00 a.m. >> we're going to talk about another shooting because this is making news all across the country. it's trending online right now. it happened in madison. investigators say there was a 19-year-old, his name is tony robinson, who they say attacked an officer who was responding to a complaint and that's when that officer opened fire. robinson was shot and killed. it is unknown whether he was armed, but we are going to continue that conversation. many tweeting about this right

now. one person writing in woke up to news in madison. so tragic. >> how can people sleep, maybe they just don't know the numbers and now a madison shooting. so all of that together. the shootings overnight and that tragedy happening out west. bill? >> and coming up, an all-out search for a missing eighth greater. what happened to cayman. the social media push to find him. >> and also selma 50 years later. i'm seem so many tweets on this. there is a huge gathering to commemorate that march. how people are remembering. and also a republican now attending. we'll have a lot more on that when we come back. >> i'm bruce gordon. the calendar may still say winter, but the eagles are engaged in a full-blown spring housecleaning. over the course of several days, the birds shed from their

roster. reaction in eagles nation ranged from good riddance to good-bye and good luck to good grief. the birds will get a linebacker in the deal. the theory here is head coach and now personnel guru chip kelly is freeing up salary cap space for the flexibility. my take? i actually don't hate the trade. his numbers fell off a bit last year. was it a fluke? maybe. but there are statistics to suggest he was wearing down after several years of very heavy yo. and don't forget, mccoy was owed a ton of money. always a problem in the salary

capped nfl. finally, alonzo may return to good health and good form, become a fan favorite in philly and all at a bargain price. here's the thing. we as fans don't know what to think and probably woept for the for seeable future. because chip kelly never says anything. on this year's moves, well, he put out written stalts. when kelly does answer questions. he does some with more sarcasm and condescension than his predecessor could muster. in the end this may all work out and the eagles may finally become the super bowl champs we've all been it whatting for. if that

>> welcome back. we are getting so many comments on the discussion we had. this is from facebook. i'm watching and she's talking about the officer who lost his life and she says he was a friend of mine. carol writes, i am so sorry for your loss. such a terrible senseless tragedy. my heart goes out to his family, friends and coworkers. the whole thing is so tragic, i feel so bad for his family, especially his children growing up without his wonderful father in his lives and finally

patricia says my his soul and the soul of the faithfully departed rest in peace. amen. >> your families getting ready to head out and enjoy your day. >> there's a nice look outside in atlantic city new jersey. so great to see the sunshine and so nice to tell you we can finally have a quiet weekend forecast. nothing but sun as we go through the next couple of days and temperatures will eventually respond to that. i know you want snow. when -- want to know when will it warm up. one of our viewers wants to know when will we see temperatures in the 70s. we will see the 50s show up at least one day. outside right now hard to believe it will be in the 50s this week. it feels arctic like every other morning so far this week. temperatures are in the teens, 22 in philadelphia, 10 in millville. we saw many record low temperatures. not the case today but it was

still far below normal. 38 degrees, a normal high temperature would be 50 degrees. sun this morning giving way to some clouds this afternoon. partly cloudy tonight, 3 is degrees. let's show you that seven day forecast. we take an edge off the cold. 46 tomorrow, 48 on monday. staying very quiet until about tuesday where we have a chance for rain, 48 degrees. there's those 50s. wednesday looks like the best day of the week. 55 degrees we cool back down but it doesn't get too cold for the rest of the week. >> in your news now, the search for a missing eighth grader from delaware county continues. he was last seen around 6:30 wednesday night leaving his home. police are investigating it as a runaway case. the parents say as of this moment there's no indication there was any foul play but his parents want him home. >> it was rainy, foggy, and it was cold and he was walking in a

dark jacket on a road with no street lights. >> his parents say he's a straight a student with no medical issues. he's never left home before like this. they don't suspect foul play, but the fbi is involved at their request. >> there's a large social media push to help locate him. with tweets like this one, i really hope this kid is just hiding out somewhere and gets home safely. my heart goes out to his family and friends. >> so many people have been tweeting about this one. people are soefg for him there are so many ways to be involved in social media. here's something that's trending this morning. robert menendez says doing nothing wrong. he spoke out at a press

conference. he told reporters that he has always behaved appropriately while in office. the u.s. justice department. he is under investigation for his relationship with a friend and big party donor. walter mondale is in the hospital. he reportedly has the flu. they are expecting that he will make a full recovery. >> and today is the 50th anniversary of the march in selma, alabama. of hundred marchers crossed the bridge heading to montgomery. they faced beatings and attacks of tear gas from local authorities and the images of the violence of the march known as bloody sunday stunned the american public. as we pointed out a little bit earlier, there were a lot of concerns about whether or not any republican leadership would be there they are in fact

represented. and there are lots of tweets about the anniversary. thanks martin luther king junior for the example you set, the commitment to do what's right and the courage to. >> so many things people have felt passionately about. including so many people that are writing in and mourning the loss of the officer. it has gone all the way across the country and some big hollywood names have gotten involved in this one as well. >> they have. and everybody is responding. and that's actually a really good thing to see. you mentioned hollywood names, coming up that star that made a donation to the fallen heroes' family. >> also taking a look at your comments coming in right now. the country is built on violence yet it is supposed to be squashed. not going to happen. it's systematic. david says communities are outraged, but i don't see protests going on in north philadelphia over this officer's

murder. and this one, outrage is not the shooting only. the killers will be punished. the same doesn't apply when a police officer shoots an unarmed person. so lots of strong opinions and people can certainly weigh in no matter what you think about this one. we do value what you have to say. use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> what are we listening to? >> justin timberlake. this is a good song to play as you relax and chill and let us know what you like to hear. make sure you send us your song requests and keep the conversation going, tweet, facebook, so many more. conversation going, tweet, facebook, so many more.

>> what kind of books do you like to read? i like to read credit reports. hear's why you should read your credit report to. it's unique to you. it generates two things. the credit score and also generates the price you're going po pay for credit. interest. if you have a some,000 car loan and you have good credit, over

four years, that car loan is going to cost you about $800 in interest. but if your credit is not so good, you may pay double that. and why? because you have an error on your credit report. and a study recently suggested that up to 20% have an error on our credit report. so here's a few tips for you to make sure your credit report is accurate. first go to annualcreditreport.com where you can get your free credit report once a year. next make sure there's no questionable entries or outright errors and if there are, call the agency immediately. and make sure you put all correspondence in writing. it's going to writer a little bit of back and forth to get those errors or questionable items off of your report. so while you may find that reading "fifty shades of grey" is exciting, i guarantee reading

your credit report will be fifthty shades of green more enriching. i'm cashing out. >> you're talking about this one. also we have a lot of comments, we love when you have strong opinions. you can write whatever you want. i i am insulted by your interview with solomon joins for him to try to draw up sympathy for those cop killers is disgusting. he is why this world will never change. he ask worried about the tragedy of their family members who will miss them? many of you agree with that. but many of you certainly

disagree as well. >> that's part of the reason why we have those very serious discussions. the other side of that is we got a tweet where i think it's a great interview. socioeconomic are indeed factors in this tragedy and we need to look at everything involved to try to prevent these things from happening. >> to keep our conversation continuing because we do value what we have to say and your opinions on all of these topics. also a little bit of music because it's been a really heavy show, we've got all these big stories that are happening. so we're going to shake it off a little bit. we like to claim her here in the lehigh valley. >> got me dancing to justin

>> my feet are cold, to. i want to get rid of the snow as well. i completely understand and agree. but we are stuck with it for at least the next day or two.

we need some good melting which we will get in the seven-day forecast. as we go through the transitions, every weekend you ask us questions. i'm luckily bringing you no snow. it is quiet outside as we take a look at ultimate doppler. here in philadelphia it is mainly sunshine that we see through the rest of the day. temperatures are in the teens and it's still very cold outside this morning. 22 in philadelphia, 23 in dover. unfortunately been such a cold and snowy start to march. we've got those 7.5 inches of snow back on thursday. we at least make it above freezing although it is still far below normal.

>> and in your news now, tomorrow marks one year since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared without a trace. >> they never found any evidence. so right now, this is what's trending. anthony writes i am still staring at planes in the sky wondering about the great

mystery. dan akroyd shares his thoughts. >> it was senseless. you've got guns in the hands of wrong people. that's the bottom line. >> an akroyd was at the flower show to promote his vodka line. when he made those comments. >> in ship we trust, or do we. eagles fans are scratching their heads. >> good morning. >> hi, karp. how are you. >> what did you think as all of this was unfolding? >> i was shocked but i think we talked a lot about it on the air that la shaun is make ago loi of money. i wasn't shocked that he was president with the team. i didn't see it happens when they did.

shocking when you release a player or trade a player that's still at the top of his game. but we know in the nfl, the l doesn't stand for loyalty. it's all about the benjamins. so chip kelly thinks he can win. he's trying to bring his guys in. i don't know if it's going to work. it's what he's doing, it's not really the nfl way what he's doing positioning for money in the off season. we'll see how it is. eagles fans seem like they're behind it at least at the surface. we'll see what happens if they start losing games next year. >> let's get to some of those comments. >> we put it up on twitter. and we asked, do you trust chip kelly. the first one says yes, i trust chip. we're going to be aggressive in free agency. hope we get others. so the eagles right now have

almost $50 million in cap space to use to go out and sign free agents. he's talking about by ron maxwell. de mar co-murray, it's probably not going to happen. so that person, trust them. let's go to philly. i know there's a lot of oregon duck players on the roster. the fact that chip has nine oregon players on the roster makes me trust him less. why? not coincidence. if they get one more oregon player on the roster, marcus mariota, i'll be happy. and the last one says i trust chip kelly like i trust this year's weather forecast. i think that's a cheap shot. these last few forecasts have been dead on, right? >> exactly. so maybe he'll be right in the end. we finally get it right so maybe the same thing will happen this

year. >> thank you. have a great rest of the saturday. enjoy your day and we'll see you next weekend. what do you think about the changes that are happening? use our hashtag #fox29weekend. >> i think let's wait and see. we have to have a little trust. coming up, an incredible love letter to a small child. the reason one parent decided to write the note and what she has to say to other parents out there. >> and also we're getting a lot of your comments. people do have a lot of opinions. this is talking about the incident with the police officer. this is why i believe in the death penalty. anyone who murders a police officer should get it. this is out of control. it doesn't matter if you're black or white, civilian or cop, put the guns down and stop the killing. the murder doesn't just affect the black community and it affects all of us. thank you for sharing your opinions on that. let's turn to your music requests. >> really passionate, strong opinions today.

running out for a 12 pack of beer just got easier. the pennsylvania liquor control board will now allow beer distributors to sell 12 packs of beer. the law didn't change it's just a new interpretation. beer distributors say they're excited about it. >> did it will definitely change the stuff we're buying. some industry experts say there could be opposition from smaller stores which have a special license to sell just 6 or 12 packs now. they may be upset because they'll have new competition. lots of people talking about this change on facebook. it's a rather sad state of pennsylvania alcohol laws that this qualifies as a big step forward. in any case, hooray. >> we want to talk about this next story.

a mom from boston writes this incredible love letter to her transgender child. he started declaring he was a boy by the age of 3. we'll read you part of this letter. it is because i no longer fear the outcomes, the medical interventions and the bigotry that i will not be filing this birthday letter in the fox in the attic, rather momentarily, i'm going to set these words free, relinquishing my control over their trajectory. their intent is to provide

comfort to another mother or father. it doesn't get better, it gets awesome. joining us now by skype. most of us cannot even imagine your journey. you have three children two girls and also your son. this is mazing story and what it's like as you realize he's not acting as a boy but he really believes in every molecule of his little body that he was a boy from an early time. what was it like for you as a mom to go through this. i have a little girl. you can't be a boy? >> i think this is, from hearing other parents that have gone through something similar, i think that my story is typical in that you go through a period of disbelief. i me mean, it doesn't seem to make sense that a child before you understand and realize that a child that age can know what gender is or take it seriously.

>> what was it like that really brought it home for you? jacob started dressing saying i want blue things, i don't want all this girl stuff and really rejecting that in a way that was not just play acting or just something out of a role. how did you realize that this was something bigger? >> when his moods started changing. when he became angry, when he started withdrawing from people. and one of the final moments that really pushed the idea into my head that this might be for real was when a teacher came to me and she said to me, you know, she was aware that he was claiming to be a boy but when she started writing her name, because at the time we saw her as her. and she would angrily taking a pen and crossing it out and erasing herself or as people perceived her as a girl. and that's when it really hit

home to me. this is serious. this is internal. this is causing too much distress and i need to pay attention to it. >> i think sometimes we confuse gender identity with sexuality and people would say how can you see this. this is ridiculous. this is a three-year-old. how could this possibly be the case. it's not that. is it more common than we think that we have some of these issues with children? >> i think so. i think there's -- people are starting to realize that gender is on a spectrum and there's typically identifying boys, typically identifying girls, and a whole range in the middle. an we're starting to see things not in boxes anymore. and the evidence is that proximally 1 in 1,000 children will be in some form, very gender nonconforming all the way up to transgender. these kids are out there but i don't think they had a voice before. i think right now where we are in our generation, where we are

with civil rights and understanding and protecting individual rights. i think we're finally ready to hear about the transgender community because it's been very under served. >> we got these comments, there was thousands of them. absolutely beautiful a mother understands what a child does not say. but we've had some criticism out there. totally ridiculous that a little girl is five years old, what is wrong with people. serious case of bad parenting. what do you say to people who say things like that to you? >> well, number one, every parent wants their child to be happy and healthy. and healthy is not just physical, it's mental. and it's specially mental. if you see your child undergoing severe distress claiming that they are not what their body identifies as, by shutting them down you can create depression,

suicidality. because of this issue, because of bullying. and i saw the signs in my kid. what's the harm of allowing my child to go to school with a boy name, to wear boy clothes? if one day he decided that he wanted to be a girl again or wanted to be somewhere on the spectrum, he knows he has our support. and the worst thing that would happen is i would be embarrassed, maybe, if i have to tell my friends again, new announcement we have mia back. i don't believe that's going to happen. with the kind of insistence and persistence that jacob has shown, i believe that he is likely to transgender and he will not go back. and by supporting him i'm saving his life in a way. it could go very wrong for kids

like this. >> that's why we've gotten so many comments on this one. thank you for sharing your story. the bottom thing i think every parent understands we just want the best for our kids. we'll be right back. >> this is fox food bite. we're going to power heavy cream into the pot and add chocolate chips. now we're going to add three cups of chocolate chips. stir themful they're fully melted. once they're fully melted, we'll
